[Buildroot] [RESEND] [PATCH v7] board: add support for ARM Juno Development Board

[Joao Pinto <Joao.Pinto@synopsys.com>]

Hi Liviu,

Thanks for your comments. We had 7 iterations for the patch to achieve the
desired kernel defconfig and buildroot defconfig.
I tested this configuration in Juno r1 only. Maybe we should change the
descriptions and support Juno r1 only for now? What's your opinion?

Joao
